Empanada On The Rise

06/10/2026

🚨 IF YOU THINK WE ONLY DO EMPANADAS, YOU’RE WAY BEHIND. 🚨

Yeah, we still got over 100 different empanada fillings — sweet and savory.

But that’s just the beginning.

We’re bringing:

🔥 Full Spanish Food Stations
🌮 Taco & Nacho Bars
🥔 Loaded Baked Potato Bars
🥢 Authentic Eggroll Stations
🍖 BBQ Packages
🌭 Sausage & Peppers Heroes
🥩 Philly Cheesesteaks
🍔 Dominican Burgers
🐄 Wagyu Burgers

And honestly… that’s not even everything.

Too many caterers got one menu and call it a business.

We ain’t a one-trick pony.

Every event is different, and we build menus that fit your crowd.

The difference?

We don’t buy cheap ingredients.
We don’t serve low-quality meats.
We don’t cut corners.

💎 We’re not the basic experience.
💎 We’re the Golden Standard.

Good food gets compliments.

Great food gets people asking who catered the event.

We can be in 4 places at once, but dates are moving fast, especially this summer.

So if you’ve been thinking about booking, don’t wait until your date is gone.
